I currently work as a lecturer for Molde University College, teaching courses within innovation, healthcare and technology for diverse student groups. I also support the startup Frigg Medtech in user insight, structure, strategy and business development. In my former job I cofounded and led Independence Gear together with my amazing colleagues. Our vision was to make solutions that can enable people to live their lives in dignity, independent from help. By leveraging user-centered design and rapid prototyping we took two products to market. Dignum, for independence on the toilet, and Spectum for independent skin inspection. Previously I was part of the team building the innovation lab ProtoMore in Molde, Norway. This is a place where established industry and entrepreneurs can think afresh. With the help from the facilitators the customers will be guided through creative processes in a different way than what they are used to. This includes design thinking methods, physical prototyping of ideas and being challenged on established truths. I completed my Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology May 2016. My coursework includes traditional mechanical engineering skills with the tools and skills of Design Thinking on top. That means I have a solid foundation in Math, Fluid dynamics, mechanics, materials and mechanical design, but with the mindset of rapid prototyping, iterating process and User-centered design weaved into my working methods. I enjoy rock climbing and skiing when active, meditation when not, and cooking in between.
